What if I can get the new panel for the HVAC and the ESP panel (pics below) ? is it gona work ? and YES I do like the newer digital HVAC in the second pics. Getting those panels is not a problem but the problem here is a rewiring part.
ESP dash panel,



Now I only need the Headunit and the panel for the HVAC.

none of the W203 came with the active charcoal filter after 2004. that and the digital climate control.

forgot what the option is called, but it is part of an option to the rest of the world. It is called the Solar sensor btw. the digital climate control adds dual air-flow controls, solar sensor, and a smog-sensing odor filter.

2005+ this feature is not part of any C-class that's brought to the US.

the re-wire includes replacing the front SAM with newer one and changing some harness. Sunman has done it to his 2003 C320 with new interior from the 2005+. everything needs to be changed/programed to work. not worth the $

Won't work. Although the center console shape is the same for the pre-facelifts (2004.5 and older) as the post-facelifts (2005-2007), the cutouts for the radio, HVAC and buttons (heated seats, sunshade, etc) are different.

FrankW...In post #14, I posted a picture with two VINs from late 2005 build, early 2006 with Factory "Climatronic" - or the Digital Read out on US Domestic Market cars. Can you explain, or give more detail on your above comment that after 2004 (I am assuming you mean build date (not Model Year), and thus POST face-lift) "they" deleted these features in the w203.

The images I have posted, do have these "buttons" - I would assume that they would work from Sindelfingen, but then again, they could be like the phone buttons on the HU and 9.5 out of 10 not hooked up to a MHI and thus do nothing.

Thanks,
Jake

I think that pic is just showing how retro fit looks. I've not seen any U.S. w203 from 2005-2007 with the digital HVAC unit including the C55 other than when people retro fit them. They all have the crappy four turn knob unit.

if the car does come with the digital unit it means it does have all the function on the unit.
